Magnetic oil drain plug, effective?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greddy-Magne...e63b6e&vxp=mtr
I was looking at these from Greddy, are they effective? Its pretty cheap, and did some research on google but mixed reviews. Thoughts? |
I've got one. Nothing on it in two oil changes. Probably something to do with most metals that wear in an engine are non-ferrous.
|
I prefer a filter magnet. More surface area to catch stuff and it'll see all the oil pass by rather than waiting for debris to drift past.
|
Pretty cheap? 24$ for a bolt with a magnet is cheap fo you?

Slap a good magnet on your filter and be done with it. Put a fumoto in that plug instead.

Like everyone said, filter mag seems to be the proper way to do this. |
You can magnetize your own drain plug at home... or I can magnetize one for you. I do NDT inspections, I can hit it with a DC yoke and pass current thru it. Has to have high permeable metal though. Aluminum will not magnetize as it is not a ferromagnetic material. Not that anyone is using aluminum anyway, too soft a metal to be a drain plug.
